I'm pretty sure he's referring to the "Jade Dragon" passing from owner to owner before the Joker got his hands on it.
Yes!
When rocks fall from the sky, they're incredibly fucking expensive to the collector. Even if they're not kryptonite. Batman bought one that he knew was.Yes!
batman knew he had to have kryptonite, so he spent whatever it took to get it.Yes!
I love you people.

Also...I've been thinking about it, and I've come to the decision that I think the Watchmen movie is better than The Dark Knight.
You are mad.
haha.
I thought the same thing last week, but quickly changed my mind. TDK is a film that gets better upon multiple viewings and examinations; Watchmen (as a film) is the opposite.
-
Yeah, the slow-fast motion really just made it seem more like a comic panel come to life for me.
-
Well since when does kryptonite have a monetary value? It's not like it's traded on the stock market.
Sure it has monetary value. It's possible that whomever owned it before didn't know it was kryptonite (as was shown in many stories, including Superman Returns and the DCAU 3-part Batman/Superman crossover "World's Finest"). Any chunk of meteor is really freaking expensive; $70,000 was just the amount that Bruce paid for it.

I'm still kinda confused at the mechanics of how Ozy's plot worked out in reality. All I remember is that a power that was more or less equivalent to Manhattan's was unleashed on six separate cities and that the generator that Manhattan and Ozy created was it's source. Can someone clarify?
Yeah, that sounds right.
I still want to see Bubastis-Manhattan.
-
I don't think they died the same way. That was an explosion caused by a generator that looked like Jon's energy signature. Jon was ripped apart atom by atom. (Or more accurately, the forces holding his atoms together were removed, and he just... dissolved.)
Mmm, that's right. I think in my head I was visualizing
the people that Ozzy vaporized in-between those two walls. I was almost disappointed that we didn't get to see a glowing blue God-Bubastis. Like "Krypto Manhattan" or something.
-
Honestly, if someone thinks Watchmen is worse than anything else out there, that person is terribly sheltered.
Not the case here; sheltered he is not.
It's probably because everything about the Watchmen film screams "CARTOON" with its extremely stylized visuals, but the actual story is extremely realistic and mature.
Of course, we understand it all because we've read the comic, which is very dry and fittingly gritty. I think that the film's visuals are amazing, but don't necessarily blend well with the utter realism of the film's story.
Did anyone else have a problem with the fact that (in the film)
Ozymandias "kills" people the same way that Jon was supposedly "killed?" Would that not mean that they are all granted Jon's powers? Even if you go with the idea that Jon is a scientist that "knows" how to reconstitute himself, in the combined populations of all those major cities there should be at least a dozen other people with similar mental ability.
It just seems odd to me. I don't remember it being explained in the film.
-
A friend of mine (who hadn't read the book) said he hated the movie because it was so "morally depraved." I think that perhaps the film doesn't go deep enough in explaining exactly why the characters are so messed up, and to a non-person-who-read-the-book would seem like a montage of random sex and violence.
-
How much bad press can this movie get and still be a hit?
No such thing as bad press. *coughHeathLedgercough*
-
...late '20s, early '30s."
YES!
Seriously, a 40-year-old Hal is kind of silly for this film. It works for Tony Stark, but Hal's origin requires that youthful hot-shot-ness.

So, a little late posting this, but I went to see the movie opening night at midnight. IMAX theater with a bunch of friends that I talked into going. And the fucking IMAX projector eats the film. We are told that we lost 2 seconds of the film.. However, after about 20 minutes, we get restarted to a movie with the audio two seconds behind. We were given some free passes and told to leave. So, I have yet to see the back end of the movie. It really sucks.
Wow, that really sucks.
Once I went to see FF: Rise of the Silver Surfer (yes, I was bored THAT badly) and the audio stopped working entirely. They gave us a free ticket to whatever other movie we wanted to see that day, as well as another free pass that was good until the end of time. All in all, it was worth it.
-
I also though it was interesting that
they made it really obvious that Ozymandias was gay. Subtle clues were laid with the stereotyped gay dancers behind him in one of the early scenes, and then later on his PC there is a file marked "boys". Its cool that they basically confirmed it but left it as a detail.
I totally missed that.
The dancers made me wonder for a moment, but I dismissed it as "well, being the smartest man in the world, he's just having them there for everybody else."
That sounds really stupid in hindsight.
Yeah, it's nice to see detail like that.
Man, now I have to scrounge up $10 and go see it again.
-
I liked Bubastis. That cat/wolf/tiger/whatever was one of my favorite parts of the comic, and I don't really care if he wasn't explained to the viewers; they probably thought he was cool too.
-
Well the spell the kiss gave was broken when Lois saw them in the elevator kissing. I'm guessing because of his strong feelings for Lois it made it easier.
Hmm. That makes a bit of sense, but it still bothers me how easily Clark was going to bang some hot alien Queen-of-Almerac chick.
Oh well. *shrug*
-
I guess from Eric Bana's lines there that the villain is a time traveller? That would explain Spock going back.
The all-but-confirmed rumors are that
Nero (the Romulan commander) goes back in time to kill Jim Kirk (Terminator-style), and TNG-era Spock follows in order to ensure Kirk's survival. Jim's father somehow foils Nero's plans, but the timeline is radically altered so that everything we know about the events in Star Trek are completely different. (That's why the Enterprise looks different) So basically, the world of Trek is the same, but events won't play out the same way they did in the TNG era.
Personally, I'm excited beyond belief about this film. It looks like it's defying the conventions that bound past Trek films and becoming something altogether more epic and real. (and this is from a fan of ALL the Trek series and films [minus The Final F***tier.])
-
Mmm... yeah, I also liked the
boiling-oil-in-face scene. Rorschach's "You're in here with ME" line got a lot of laughs from the audience.
-
I actually kinda liked MCR's song when I heard it play at the end credits, but that may be because I heard it a few weeks ago and had time to let the pain lessen.
It seemed to match the film's dystopian rock theme.
My favorite scene was probably either the alley fight or the prison break.
-
I don't remember him being on Red Kryptonite in that episode. I believe the effects of her kiss brought out his Kryptonian desires. She said that only a Kryptonian could handle the rush her kisses cause.
Ah, yes. That makes sense.
Still, though, I don't buy Clark's reaction. He's supposed to have super-judgment to override any desire no matter how strong, right? (like the desire to melt Luthor's brain.)
Then again, perhaps I'm looking for depth in the wrong place. (that being Smallville)
Yeah, I think Knightwing is thinking of his mirror copy Bizstarro.Maybe thats who it was! "Bizstarro get detective so nobody know bizstarro did it!"
That... actually makes sense. We'll go with that.
-
That fucking pissed me off. I know it'll be in the director's cut, but that scene can't have been longer than five minutes.
It really wasn't important, though, and it would have been an extra five minutes on top of a film that was already stretching the limit. Besides, then we would have had yet another thing weighing on Nite Owl II's mind during the whole scene. I think that it worked better to
have him see Rorschach die
, thus allowing his reaction to mirror the audience's. (does that make him the Luke Skywalker of Watchmen? O_o )
-
I really, really loved the movie. There were a few cheesy bits, but altogether it worked wonderfully.
2. I missedRorschach taking his exercises. Just weird to have that iconic scene gone.
That might actually be in the director's cut of the film. There's an extra half-hour of footage that's going to be in the director's cut, not counting the Black Freighter bits.
-
Hee's a clip from the episode with Maxima
WHAT
THE
HELL
Was he under Red Kryptonite then?
-
...the CGI on the claws was baaaaaad.
UGH. YES.
I'm pretty sure that that must be an undone shot.
-
Starro wanted to cause massive in-fighting within the JLU to divert suspicion from himself. He was overconfident to a fault, believing Terry would be unable to stop him, as his plan had come so far.
I concur!
-
My guess is
it's TNG cast that sends Spock back in time.
DON'T YOU DARE GET MY HOPES UP!
